A young man who travels fjr a New
York Bible erincern was at llicßoodyj
House yesterday, and along in the after- j
noon, following the promptings or rather !
the wooing* < t the spirit, started back to |
the far for a drink. He had just reached ■
the door when lie was startled liy an up- !
partition in the sombre clothed person of
his employer, wlo had stopped over a day
on a tlyiny trip to Caie. go, where Bible \
bouses tin.l a large an.l utlruuuvc Held, j
Seeing the employer, the v-mng man
unconcernedly walked on into the WHBII
room mid begun to lave his Imuds. The
employer carelessly sauntered down the
long con idor, round through the billiard
hall, slid ju-tus lie entered llie bar again
cue mated his traveling employe, who,
bowing politely, walked on into the bil
Slant hall and In came absorbed in watch
ing a game of billiards. But lie kept mi
eye on his employer, and whoa lie disap
peared, returned to the bar after the cov
eted drink.
Again lie tun ium t..0 old man and pro
ceeded oil into the wash room, where lie
again hat lied his hands. The employer
then took u torn watching the spinning
ivory globus. Anon, the voting man made
another < fforl. The employer was again
enei entered. Then they changed planes
once more, the young man watching the
billiards and the old man watching his
bunds.
The drummer ihtu conceived and exe
cuted a coup d'elnt, or something of iliiit
sort. He called for his coat, at the coat
room, uud told the old man, as they
again passed in the bar. that he guessed
he'd go out anil call on a minister whom
he was working up into a Bible-buying
mood.
Then he walked around, came through
the billiard hull, and mice more went into
the bar.
" Well," lie said, smiling pleasantly as
lie encountered his employer again, " for
got to wash my hands." Then he stole
into the wash room, peered around the
corner of the wall until he saw the old
mm disappear, then he hastened back to
tic liar. The same inspiration lad fired
the old man, and they collided once more.
Then they had to wash again.
By this time their hands were white and
soft, and their Augers beginning to shrivel
up tike a Canton avenue washerwoman,
Both were growing desperate t and the
old man said, in a careless, off-hand man
ner :
"Oil, by the way, Phillup, do you over
drink a glass of beer ?"
Pidllup said : "Well, once in 11 great
while."
Then a great feeling of relief Ailed
them. Distrust was metamorphosed into
perfect trust and sweet confidence, and
the dark despair of the hope that was
dying in each longing breast suddenly
brightened into the glad joyous sparkling
sunshine of expectations ail fulfilled, and
hopes fully realized.
Cxt*ai<>rul Alger'H Opinion.
Gen. Russell A. Alger, Commander-in-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic,
passed through Columbus, Ohio, on Sat
urday, and in response to inquiries by a
delegatiin of Grand Army men who met
him at the Union station, said : " I have
made careful inquiries while in Washing
ton in regard to the passage of a service
pension bill, and, beyond all question,
such a bill cannot pass. lam satisAed,
however, that a dependent pension hill
will pass wilhin the next two weeks. It
is better that those who are sick and
helpless shall receive help than that ull
slit uid fail, and that w ill be the result if
only a service pension is pushed."
TELL THE TRUTH ALWAYS.
So mo flint* to Advertisers That. May He
Worth Heeding.
Of two advertisers the one who tells
the whole truth concerning an article
will in time he wore successful than he
who tells only a portion of the truth.
This does not mean that advertisers 01
salesmen shall talk simply for the pleas
ure of showing how much they know
concerning the goods. Experience has
fully demonstrated J-he truth of the slang
phrase, "Talk's cheap," and it is well
known that the salesman who talks in
cessantly is not she man who sells the
largest quantity of goods, nor is the long
est advertisement the one that is most
frequently read. But if it becomes nec
essary to go into detail about an article
do not equivocate concerning it.
Some advertisers will deliberately go
out of their way to lie—a herd, hut nev
ertheless a true statement. "This cloak
s.">: worth §12." "This beautiful cash
mere Co cents; worth $1.50."
The man on the "inside" knows that a
house would not, and indeed could not.,
sell staple goods all the year at a loss,
and consequently thero must be a lie
somewhere. The public may be taken
in for a time, hut there will surely he a
reaction. A jnerchant once said: "Of
course, if we were doing business in a
small town we could not play the public
with these constant baits, hut we calcu
late that by the time one class of people
has become dissatisfied, another class of
the ever shifting population will step in
and take their places." This-is a had
principle upon which to do a permanent
business, and judging from thechangein
the style of this same merchant's adver
tisements, he also lias become convinced
tiiat it is bad.
There is another style of advertising
which is practiced in some of our best
establishments. No lie is told, but the
truth is expressed in a manner intended
to mislead —a species of acted lie. During
the past season there was a time when
fur capes could not be delivered fast
enough. Everybody wanted them, and
the merchant who was fortunate enough
to ! ive a stock of these goods could turn
them over at a fair protit. Astrakhan
was one <!' the popular furs. The capes
brought about sl2 and the muffe about
and .SI at retail. No wonder, then,
that many ladies were allured by a sign
on a cape in an up town store which
read, "Remarkably cheap, only 5't.75."
The writer was in the store when it lady
asked to be shown one of the $11.75 capes.
"Oli! thai sign don't mean the cape,' 1
said the clerk, "it is the muff that is
7a.
"Then why," asked tile lady, "do you
put the lign on the capo and not on tlie
muffi*'
"I'm sure I don't know. 1 suppose
that the linn take it for granted that no
body would expect to get a fur cape at
that price, a id that the $;5.7.7 must rcfei
to the muif."
"That may lie as you say, but it is
nevertheless an attempt to deceive."
This waa the customer's verdict, and
she was entirely correct. When the
customer had gone inquiry was made
and the fact elicit • 1 that for some reason
the trade had fallen off wonderfully lot
the two days that the sign hod been ex
hibited. Ii was plain that the luiiis.fecl
ingindignant ut an attempted imj osition,
turned away from that department with
out making any purchase.—Dry (foods

To Save M Tli> AiigHtm."
Tliuv i.i n curious fact to bo noted in
association with the exhibition of "The
Angelas" at the American Art Galleries.
This is that that costly work was not in
sured for a cent. The association had a
tire patrol on hand night and day, and
in case of lire certain pictures, the cliiet
ox them "The Angclus," would have
been carried to a safe place in pretty
short order. There are a great many
ways out of the galleries. What with
windows on three streets and blind en
trances on Broadway and Twenty-second
street, in addition to the main entrance
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, a
great deal of property might be rescued
if a (ire wa3 discovered in time.
With an efficient patrol 01. guard,
the association could afford to lake the
chance of insuring itself. 1 see some
western paper has printed the story of an
alleged plot to steal "The Angelus.'
This is pure bosh. It. would not pay any
one to steal u picture so well known, be
cause no dealer, collector or public mu
seum would dare buy it, and any one tn
whom it was offered, knowing that it
must lie stolen, would be likely to put the
offerer under arrest. The at tempt might
be made for the sake of a possible re
ward. but here also I imagine it would
be a failure, for the ovtncranre persons of
the sort who would rather expend double
the money to capture and convict a tliief
than pay a premium 011 ids felony.—

I'urulh'l Stories.
There is a touehingly beautiful story
told of Maurice do Sully, afterward
Bishop of Paris, to the effect that shortly
after lie bad been appointed canon and
archdeacon an old woman, clothed in
drugget, with n white staff in her hand,
entered the city ami inquired of any
whom she met where she might And her
son, Dr. Maurice. Some holies, fearing
that the new dignitary might feel humili
ated if he fell in with Ids mother so shab
bily dressed, attired her in rich habila
ruents, threw a costly mantle over her
and then conducted her to his residence.
But the archdeacon refused to recog
nize her in those borrowed plumes. "My
mother," said lie, "is a poor woman who
never wears anything better than a gown
of drugget." They were obliged to take
her away and restore her original clothes,
after which they returned to tlio house
of Dr. Maurice, who, at the time, was
the center of a brilliant assembly. The
moment he caught sight of her he ad
vanced with the greatest reverence, and
embraced tier, saying: "This is indeed
my mother." But precisely the same
story is told of Pope Sixtus V and his
sister Camilla, whom the cardinals had
caused to bo decked out in magnificent
array, to be presented to the new pope
after his exaltation.—All the Y ear Round.
VANDALS AT WASHINGTON
RELIC HUNTERS DESTROYING NA
TIONAL MONUMENTS.
Oiiti'iißcs Often Inspired by Mulicioutt Mls
elilef—llio Penciling Fiend Got* In Ilia
Work- biiiniigH Amounting to Over a
Milium DollatH.
Vandalism by relic hunters and mali
cious persons who visit Washington has
been carried to such a destructive point
that tneasuresof exceptional severity are
to be adopted by the department of pub
lic buildings and grounds to restrain the
evil. The damage that has been wan
tonly clone in this way within the last ten
years would, if reduced to dollars and
cents, mount up to a frightful aggregate. I
Many who are in a good position to j
judge say that it would cost $1,000,000 1
to repair only such injuries as are act- I
ualiy visible to the casual observer.
To begin with, as yon enter the rotunda
of the Capitol front the east front, you
observe that the beautiful bronze doora,
fac-situiles of the Ghiborti doors at the
baptistry in Florence, have been badly
chewed up by iconoclastic visitors.
These doors cost the United States gov
ernment $28,500. At present tiiey would
not be worth anything like that amount.
The figures on the panels, representing
historical scenes, stand out in high re
lief, and somebody lias found no diffi
culty in wrenching away the sword that
Ilenry VII of England formerly held in
his hand. Columbus has lost the reins
of the animal lie is riding, and his brother
Bartholomew has also been deprived of
his sword. Balboa's sword lias been all
bent out of shape by some one who was,
presumably, interrupted in an attempt
to twist it off
Two luckless monarchs, King John II
of Portugal and King Charles VIII, have
both been robbed of their scepters, of
which they now retain only the stumps.
Just examples these nre of the mischief
dono to these beautiful gates of bronze.
To commit them must have required ex
ceptional nerve, situated, as the doors
are, immediately outside the rotunda,
where there is always a man 011 guard.
It is this latter fact that is accountable
for the fortunate circumstance that 110
damage whatever lias been dono within
the rotunda itself.
Save for the watch kept, the great his
torical pictures there would have been
all cut to pieces long ago. The heads of
the Father of his Country and other re
spectable characters of American an
tiquity would -have been sliced out of
the canvases, merely to begin with. For
nothing is sacred to the relic hunter; he
will not I: '.ate to cabbage a red hot
stove, if ojipnranility offers.
On the right hand side of the Ghiborti
doors, as toil go in. is a superb colossal
stali'e of 'Jr. v.i. the god of war. A van
dal vi. in, l unknown broke the end of
his 111:1 i t.ie sword off. probably by reach
ing ov< r I lie railing and giving it 11 sharp
bang with a heavy stick. The "busted"
portion lias been stuck 011 again with
glue or something, but the effect is un
sightly On the other side of the doors
is a corresponding statue of Ceres, the
goddess of the crops. Her left hand was
smashed off a while ago, and so a bunch
of marble olives has been placed in her
grasp to hide the break. Outrages like
these, of course, are often inspired by
malicious mischief, pure and simple.
But the case is rare of an individual who
will y property in cold blood, just
for the sake of destroying. The bulk of
tile vandalism is committed l>v relic
hunters—people without souls, savages
of civilization, who will not hesitate to
wipe out in live minutes as much value
as the labor of their lifetime will pro
duce. for the sake of procuring half a
dozen worthless memorabilia.
Such are the persons, doubtless, who
have attacked the magnificent bronze
doors of the east senate front—original
cost. $5(5,000 — on which are depicted in
relief scenes in American history. The
guns of the soldiers at Yorktown have
been wrenched off - those of them that
were sufficiently in alio relievo to make
it possible—and the reins of Washing
ton's horse, on his journey through Tren
ton. have disappeared; also the gun in
the hands of the woman who looks on
upon the combat between the Jersey far
mer and the Hessian has lost its barrel.
The president's room lias suffered uianv
times, not only from relic hunters, hut
also from malicious destroyers. The
relic hunters have confined themselves
here chiefly to cutting the silken tassels
from the chairs, though now and then
they have sliced a piece out of the hand
some red leather coverings of the sofas,
and occasionally a strip lias been cut off
one corner of the costly carpet, made es
pecially to lit the room, just to remom- j
ber the place by afterward. Tassels. J
however, are the favorite (spoil.
The guard ventured out of the room
for less than two minutes one day, and ■
when lie came back three tassels were
gone glimmering. On an average, the
equivalent of a full set of new tassels has
to be put on the chairs each year to re
place those carried away. Beyond a I
doubt this room is the handsomest on \
the American continent. Curiously I
enough, it is occupied for only one hour !
in every twelve months. The president
always spends the lust sixty minutes in
it before Congress adjourns the session,
so that he may sign hills tip to the very
stroke of 12 o'clock and save them from
becoming void.
Nothing that money could do to make
ilie apartment gorgeous lias been left un
done, and its more than palatial splen
dors appear to tempt the destroyers for
mischief's sake. At all events the sofas
have lieen repeatedly ripped from end to
end with knives, and other such wanton
acts of malice have been committed.
The chief damage done in the statuary
room at the Capitol is in the shape of (
lead pencil writings. Potomac marble,
of which the great pillars are formed, is
of grayish effect, with light colored spots '
all over it. These spots afford tempting
opportunities for scribblers, who delight 1
in writing their names on them, with
various remarks on every conceivable
subject. The pillars, as l'ar up as the ,
hand can reach, are fairly covered with
these graffiti. Washington Cor. St.

ALMANACS OF LONG AGO.
SOME OF THE MILE POST REC
ORDS OF ANCIENT HISTORY.
j Tlielr Origin Mini Growth —Unttiiit Itiirk
j Over Three ThotisHiid Years—Early Styles
! and Devices— IKutlt to Suit the Taste* of
j the l>uy.
The invention of the almanac was Hie
beginningof history, in the sense that
history is philosophy teaching by ex
ample. Previous to that important and
convenient revelation, there was practi
cally no basis of comparison, no process
of marking the course of time, no means
of connecting the past with the present
and tlie present with the future.
The art of calculation, tlie whole great
j system of mathematics, had its origin in
tlie pebble device, used to count sheep
by dropping a pebble in a basket for
eacli one as it passed until an entire
flock got by, then enumerating another
flock in tlie same way, and finally de
termining the relative numbers of tlie
two bv alternately taking a pebble from
each basket until one was exhausted.
Next came the chalk marks, or straight
lines in blocks of five, the last being
drawn across the other four at an angle,
which plan is still largely employed;
then tlie plan of two notched sticks—the
first double entry idea—was evolved:
then came the digit system, or counting
in lives and tens with tlie fingers; and
finally the Arabic notation, with its ten
symbols or figures, superseded all other
methods.
PUDDLES AND CHALK MARKS.
It is easy to understand that, while
the world was thus slowly learning how
to count, it could have no history. There
was no way to record events or to ad
just and combine facts. Tlie pebbles and
chalk marks and notched sticks only an
swered the crude purposes of a life that
took no account of yesterday or to-mor
row. It was not possible for the aver
age inind to have any conception of
dates or periods, distances or localities.
The relation of what was to what had
been and what might be did not enter
into the prevailing order of thought and
feeling. One day was as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
There was no intellectual growth, no
permanent escape from the right of sav
agery. so long 11s the gift of measuring
space and time was absent; men began
to be men only when they acquired that
advantage, and were able to connect the
experiences of one generation with the
necessities of the next, or, in other words,
to grasp the doctrine of accumulation,
which is the source of all development.
When tliey came to see that the whole
was greater than any part, and that a
part was nothing unless rooted to the
whole, they were placed in the way of
harmonizing themselves with their en
vironment and accomplishing sane and
useful results. Time was invested with
appreciable value, and the procession of
the days took on a practical purport.
Wings were piovided for intelligence.
The caged reason of the race secured the
soaring privilege, and its horizon widened
with every effort. First the pebbles were
cast away, then the notched sticks, then
the digital device; and thus the dawn of
history slowly but surely approached.
EARLY ALMANACS.
The first almanacs—that is to say,
the first histories—were of Arabian ori
gin, and reflected tlie local genius of the
people in a very striking way. They
served as models in other Countries for
hundreds of years. The oldest known
copy of such a work is preserved in the
British Museum, and dates back to the
lime of Ramoscs tlie Great, of Egypt,
who lived 1,200 years before the birth of
Christ. It is written on papyrus, in red
ink. and covers u period of six years.
Tlie entries relate to religious cere
monies. to the fates of children born on
given days, and to the regulation of
business enterprises in accordance with
planetary influences. "Do nothing at
all this day," is one of tlie warnings.
"If tliou secst anything at all this day
it will be fortune," is another entry.
"Look not at a rat this day." "Wash not
with water this day," and "Go not out
before daylight this day" are some of
the additional cautions. This almanac
was found in an old tomb, and is sup
posed to have been buried with its
Egyptian owner when he was converted
into a mummy for future explorers to
dig up and dissect in the interest of sci
ence and literature.
Next after this in point of ago among
llio existing specimens of ancient alma
nacs are some composed in the Fourth
century. They are Roman church calen
dars, giving the naiucs of the saints and
other religious information. Tlie Baltic
nations, who were not versed in papyrus
making, had calendars engraved on ax
helves, walking sticks un 1 other articles
of personal . sc-. The da\s were notched,
with a broad mark for .Sunday, and tlie
saints'days were symbolized is various
devices, such as a harp for St. David's, a
gridiron for St.. Law rence's, a lover's
knot for St. Valentine's, and on. The
Saxon almanacs arc numerous and con
lain historical as well as r c!r lastienl
entries, it it possible to trace in these
curious i'i cor' 1 ;.!1 the changes of papu
lar belief and taste They were pro
pared to meet the current demand and
to constitute a systematic story of what
took place in successive periods and how
knowledge increased with the revolving
years. We owe to them most that we
know of the people for whom they were
made and by whom they were indorsed.

that in twenty-four cases tlie resem

making a hygrometer, which indicates
the varying moisture of the air by the ex
pansion and contraction of an oat barb—
the long "beard," so to speak, which is
tough and flexible. A light paper figure,
shaped and colored to suit the designer's
taste, is fastened to a cardboard with two
pins. It is necessary to have a space be
tween the figure and the cardboard, and
to have the arm so attached to the rear
part of the shoulder that it can rise and
fall freely. .
Now with minute pieces of wax fasten
the oat "beard," one end to the arm and
r he other up behind the head of the
igure. iireathe on it till the "beard" is
surcharged with dampness; it will un
twist or relax, and the arm will sink to
the lowest possible point. At the end of
the linger, or of a baton in the figure's
hand, mark 10, or "very humid." Then
Bet the figure before the fire, the "beard"
will dry and contract and the arm rise
to the highest point, which you may
mark as 0, or "very dry." Divide the
range of tin* pointer then into as many
subdivisions as you like. With the varia
tions of moisture day by day or hour by
hour the "beard" will expand or con
tract and the pointer indicate the condi
tion. One oat barb will last several days.

THE MONUMENT.
Rebisso is the sculptor, and when a
committee recently inspected his work
entire satisfaction with it was expressed.
The statue represents the general sitting
quietly in his saddle.
The sculptor lias shown appreciation
of the fact that Grant was not a soldier
of romance, hut a calm, stern man of
practical ideas. Gen. Joseph Stockton,
one of the trustees of the statue com
mittee, says:
"I remember now that at the battle of
Gig Black River Grant sat on his horse
beside a pool of muddy water, looking
just as this statue represents him. An
officer rode up and said: 'General, they
have opened a battery 011 us over there.'
'Put a brigade in and take it.' answered
Grant, without showing the least ex
citement."
